Sights / Optics: This rifle is mounted with a dovetail set front blade on a block and a scope mounted to the receiver rings. The scope is a Weaver 1.5 x – 4.5x. The scope is clear and serviceable, though just a bit dusty. The external scope is free of dents and shows only light finish wear, especially considering the age.
Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are smooth and lightly finished custom wood, with a cheek piece and pistol grip in the full length Mannlicher Style. There are only a few marks and rubs, but no splits or cracks. This is a home stock job, but a good one at that. The LOP measures 13 ½”. The stocks rate in about Very Good overall condition.
Type of Finish: Blue
Finish Originality: Apparently Original
Bore Condition: The bore is bright and the rifling is sharp. There is no erosion.
Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 70% of its metal finish. The balance of the finish shows thinning at areas of high contact and slight age discoloration. The top of the barrel shows some pitting near the chamber, and scattered surface rust further forward. Much of this surface rust will clean. The Screw heads are just a bit worn. The markings are crisp. Overall, this rifle rates in about Very Good condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We have not fired this rifle.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: A scope, mount, rings, sling and quick release swivels are provided.
Our Assessment: The Swedes, much like the Germans, are known for their quality manufacturing and this rifle is no exception. This rifle was imported during the 1950’s by Interarms when it was obviously improved further. The caliber is known for its speed and flatness of trajectory, buy it and you’ll see. This is a fun one!
